Since the introduction of restricted stdlib and syscall symbols, the
capability of yaegi to interpret itself was broken.
The use of unrestricted symbols is now also controlled by environment
variables, to allow propagation accross nested interpreters.
The interpreter Panic symbol was not wrapped, this is fixed now.
the import path resolution was failing if the working directory was
outside of GOPATH.
The documentation and readme have been ajusted.
Fixes#890.
This change allows the interpreter to execute tests and benchmarks
functions provided by packages.
The test subcommand is similar to the "go test" command and
all the relevant flags have been kept.
The ability to evaluate a directory or a package has also been added.
A new method Symbol to access exported symbol values of an interpreted
package has been added. This method is used by the test subcommand.
An EvalTest method has been added to evaluate all Go files, including "*_test.go".
The testing packages from the standard library have been added to stdlib used
symbols.
The recent changes that added some redeclaration checks implicitly added more
strictness related to namespaces and scopes which, among other things, broke
some uses that "accidentally" used to work.
For example, given
const script1 = `
import "fmt"
// more code
`
const script2 = `
import "fmt"
// some other code
`
If one Evals script1, then script2, with the same interpreter, without
specifying any scope, as the two fragments would be considered part of the same
(.go file) scope by default, a redeclaration error would be triggered because
import "fmt" is seen twice.
A work-around would have been to specify (a different) i.Name before each Eval
call, so that each script is considered as coming from a different .go file, and
hence are respectively in different scopes with respect to imports.
That lead us to realize we had to make specifying things such as file-scope, and
"incremental mode" (aka REPL), more obvious in the context of an Eval call.
In addition, we want to lay down the foundations for Yaegi being able to behave
more like the go tool wrt to various inputs, i.e. it should be able to take a
package directory, or an import path, as input, instead of just a .go file.
Hence the introduction of a new kind of Eval method (whose signature is not fixed yet):
func (interp *Interpreter) EvalPath(path string) (res reflect.Value, err error)
It partially solves the problem described above because:
1. the path given to EvalPath can be used as the file-scope hint mentioned
above, for now (even though the related implementation details might change).
2. Eval always runs in incremental mode, whereas EvalPath always runs in
non-incremental mode, hence clarifying the situation in that respect.
And to avoid confusion, the Name field of Interpreter is now non-exported,
since it is somewhat redundant with the path argument of EvalPath.
Note that #731 is not fully fixed (and might never be), as a requirement of the
proposed solution is to move the input bits of code into respective files
(instead of leaving them as strings).
Finally, some related bugfixes, documention changes, and some refactoring have
been included. Notably, there is no "empty scope" anymore, i.e. name defaults
to "_.go" when it is not specified.

* interp: support another vendoring case
Namely, when the vendor dir is a sibling (or an uncle) relative to the
current pkg
Fixes#758
* make linter happier
* address review comments

* add dummy files to force dirs into git
* fix: constant definition loop on out of order vars
* fix: do not wire global varDecl
* fix: wire and execute global vars
* chore: add tests
* fix: refactor and lint
* feat: add support for named output variables
Function output parameters are located at the start of the function
frame, uninitialized, as they could be only set through return
statements.
Supporting named output variables requires to:
- identify and allocate symbols corresponding to output names:
done at ident parsing, with the funcRet() helper,
- compute the location of output name in the frame:
done with retRank() helper,
- initialize the frame entry with the zero value of symbol type,
as the symbol can be accessed and written at multiple times,
and return not setting the variable (opposite to unnamed).
Done with frameType() helper, which now takes into account
output parameters.
* refactor: simplify memory management
Perform function frame analysis at pre-order, instead of post-order, to
initialize memory frame, and track value types. Remove all operation
involving unitialized types. Frame memory layout is now build
incrementally, instead of having to perform dedicated tree walks on AST.
Rename the package scope from internal package name to alias name.
Detect different packages in the same directory (forbidden by spec).
Update example to test named import.
* style: fix warnings from golangci-lint printed by `make check`
* style: err assign in if block when possible. Better use of switch/case
* style: err assign in if block when possible

The resolution of types, builtins, constants, is now performed
through scopes only, instead of multiple unrelated data structures.
The initialization of predefined types, constants and builtins is
now done in the global scope (universe block).
